Common use of Position Security Clause in Contracts

Position Security. Should a position be abolished through district reorganization or for any other purpose, the District shall give no less than 120 days notice thereof to said administrator. In such event, the administrator will be offered employment in any vacant position that occurs within his tenure area. If a vacancy exists outside of his tenure area, but within the current positions in the bargaining unit and said administrator is appropriately certified, he will be given primary consideration for the vacant position on a probationary basis. Consideration will be based on his prior experience and the needs and characteristics of the vacant position with the final decision remaining with the Board of Education. The administrator’s rights to a vacancy within his tenure area shall be consistent with the current period of preferred eligibility. For the vacancy outside of his tenure area but within the positions in the bargaining unit, the primary consideration for the vacancy shall be from that time the administrator’s position was abolished until such time the admin­ istrator secures a position under the provisions of this article but no longer than one (1) school year from the time his position was abolished. If such a vacancy does not exist the administrator shall be offered a teaching position in his area of certification as a teacher if a regular vacancy exists so long as no senior teacher has legitimate rights to that position on the preferred eligibility list. If the administrator had not acquired tenure as a teacher in the District, he shall be appointed on a probationary basis. In arriving at the admin­ istrator’s salary for the teaching position, all prior years in education, including administration, will accrue in determining said salary within the permissible limits of the current agreement with the teachers association. If no regular teaching position is available then the District shall create a temporary professional position for one year only at the salary level as if in con­ tinuous service as an administrator in the abolished position.
